254. Chapter 254 Dr. Shen was ambushed
Shangguan Hongli took out her life's treasures to Ye Wange. Of course, Ye Wange could not accept such a valuable thing, so she refused.
Shangguan Hongli couldn't resist her daughter, "Mom will take it for you first, and I'll give it to you in the future."
Ye Wange came to Ye's family to collect military salaries. Now that the matter has not been done, she naturally won't return to the palace.
Ye Wange looked at Shangguan Hongli, "Mom, my daughter was not completely forced by the emperor's tyranny, so she came back to persuade you and your father to take out the money."
Shangguan Hongli nodded, as if she knew everything. "Worrying about the country, the people and the world have responsibilities. If it is really necessary for war, the mother can take out her wealth."
Facing Shangguan Hongli's statement of righteousness, Ye Wange felt that it was really a blessing in her previous life that she had cultivated her baby into such a loving family.
Shangguan Hongli thought that if Bei Tang really needed her Ye family to save her, then of course she had to persuade Ye Changyu to exchange some money for the prosperity of the country. However, Shangguan Hongli was worried about Nangong Ao's greed, "Ge'er, you understand your heart to save the people of the world, but the emperor's greed cannot be filled. The Ye family took out money. If the Ye family is emptied in the future, and the emperor forces the Ye family to force the Ye family again, what should we do then?"
Ye Wange thought in her heart that it would be better to ask Ye Changyu to resign for safety reasons and return home. "Mom, give the key to the warehouse in the house to the emperor and ask the emperor to take stock of the Ye family's wealth in person. Then, mother, father and Chengxuan will return home together and leave this place of trouble."
Ye Wange asked for all the wealth of the Ye family as soon as he opened his mouth, which surprised Shangguan Hongli, and also felt that Ye Wange's approach was inappropriate.
"Ge'er, your approach is inappropriate. No matter how much money the Ye family spends, it is all its own strength. The power is far less powerful than the power of everyone. The Ye family can spend money, but they cannot spend all the country needs. They can only give a part of the head to set an example." Shangguan Hongli said.
Ye Wange nodded. In order to save Northern Tang and the people of the world, she was willing to take out everything from the Ye family, but after hearing Shangguan Hongli's words, she felt that what Shangguan Hongli said was very reasonable.
Ye Wange fell into deep thought and dilemma. Shangguan Hongli was ten thousand people who disagreed with Ye Wange's decision to give away all their property.
Ye Wange stayed in Ye's mansion, and Ye Chengxuan ran into Ye Wange's room just as dawn.
"Sister! Get up quickly!" Ye Chengxuan shouted.
Ye Wange, who was sleeping on the couch, opened her eyes and said, "Chengxuan!"
"Sister, look at my peerless martial arts skills." Ye Chengxuan said, then stretched out his fist and kicked his legs and played them a few times.
Ye Wange looked at Ye Chengxuan’s ridiculous look, “Where did you learn it?”
Ye Chengxuan heard Ye Wange ask where she learned it. He ran to her bed and lay in her ear and whispered, "I learned it in a cave in the back mountain. There are many such villains there." Ye Chengxuan said and gestured.
Ye Wange heard about the martial arts moves that Ye Chengxuan learned in the back mountain, and said that there were many villains in the cave in the back mountain. Ye Wange asked in surprise, "Where did the villains come from the back mountain?"
"Yes!" Ye Chengxuan replied seriously.
Ye Wange said disbelief, "Have you lied to my sister again?"
"I didn't lie to my sister. If my sister doesn't believe me, I will take my sister there." Ye Chengxuan said.
Seeing that Ye Chengxuan was serious, he didn't look like he was lying, Ye Wange said, "Then Chengxuan takes his sister to see you!"
Ye Chengxuan nodded, Ye Wange got dressed, sent the slaves who were following him, and walked to the backyard with Ye Chengxuan.
A few steps from the backyard door to the foot of the mountain, Ye Chengxuan walked up the mountain skillfully.
Ye Wange followed Ye Chengxuan with a big belly, fortunately, but Ye Chengxuan stopped before he walked far.
"Chengxuan, what is this place?" Ye Wange asked as he looked at Ye Chengxuan's small figure.
"Here." Ye Chengxuan reached out and pulled open the lush half-human-tall weeds, and he crawled through the crack of the weed.
"Sister, come!" Ye Chengxuan shouted to Ye Wange behind him.
Ye Wange followed Ye Chengxuan and saw Ye Chengxuan's hand touching the uneven mountain wall a few times. With a "squeak", a stone door actually opened on the stone wall in front of him.
"Sister, come in quickly." Ye Chengxuan entered through the door and reached out to greet Ye Wange.
Ye Wange walked in and looked at the deep hole, "Chengxuan, what is this place?"
"It's just a place where there are villains!" Ye Chengxuan said as he walked inside.
Ye Chengxuan walked inside with confidence and boldness, but Ye Wange was careful and cautious.
"Chengxuan, go slowly and be careful of a trap ahead." Ye Wange said to Ye Chengxuan.
"There are no traps. I have been here many times, and there are heroes in it." Ye Chengxuan turned around and said.
Ye Wange followed Ye Chengxuan and walked inside. He didn't go far. He saw Ye Chengxuan who had been moving forward immediately stopped and turned around and made a ban on the sound of Ye Wange.
"What's wrong?" Ye Wange asked, looking at Ye Chengxuan who was bowing and retreating like a shrimp.
Ye Chengxuan stretched out his little hand to cover Ye Wange's mouth, "Speak softly, dad is inside!"
When Ye Wange heard Ye Chengxuan say that Ye Changyu was inside, she immediately became curious about the place.
"Let me take a look." Ye Wange pulled Ye Chengxuan behind her, and she stretched her neck to look around.
After walking a few steps, I saw a wide cave with a large Buddha inside. Ye Changyu was kneeling in front of the Buddha.
Ye Wange searched his eyes and found that there were all kinds of bronze man jade sculptures and a large golden Buddha in the hole. Ye Wange opened her mouth in surprise and reached out to cover her chest that was beating violently due to excitement.
"Please bless my Ye family with peace for the rest of my life!" Ye Changyu said kneeling in front of the Buddha.
After Ye Wange saw the situation in the cave clearly, she pulled Ye Chengxuan and walked.
The cave is filled with peerless treasures, unlike the Ye family's underground treasure house, which is full of gold and silver. Ye Wange now understands why Ye Changyu is reluctant to give his property to the emperor.
Maybe Ye Changyu can give up if the emperor wants money, but if he wants Ye Changyu's peerless treasures, he is afraid that Ye Changyu will really lose his life.
After Ye Wange and Ye Chengxuan returned home, she told him seriously, "Chengxuan, don't tell anyone about the cave on the other side of the backyard mountain."
"Oh." Ye Chengxuan responded.
Ye Wange was worried about Ye Chengxuan, afraid that he would let go, so he scared him, "You have to tell others that the Buddha will come to take you away, and then you will never see your parents and sister again!" Ye Wange said.
"Sister, I won't tell anyone." Ye Chengxuan shook his head and said.
"I can't go there again in the future!" Ye Wange was afraid that Ye Chengxuan would go there often, and that place would be discovered.
"Ye Wange said anything Ye Chengxuan agreed.
Ye Wange coaxed and scared Ye Chengxuan, and Ye Wange was not relieved until Ye Chengxuan said he would never go there again.
Since Ye Wange saw the legendary Ye family’s peerless treasures, she knew why Shangguan Hongli and Ye Changyu were so reluctant to leave this place.
If Ye Changyu resigns from office and returns to his hometown, then these peerless treasures cannot be transported away, and he can only leave those things in this place forever.
Things passed down from ancestors have been lost in this generation, and I feel bad about being ashamed of my ancestors.
Ye Changyu felt uncomfortable, and Ye Wange felt uncomfortable. He couldn't even protect the family inheritances left by his ancestors to his descendants, and he was not worthy of being the descendants of the Ye family!
In the Palace of Yangxin, since Ye Wange went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Nangong Ao has been waiting for the good news for Ye Wange.
Ye Wange stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for several days, but no good news came, which made Nangong Ao very anxious.
"Qianhua, pour me a bowl of hot tea!" Nangong Ao ordered to Qinhua.
Qin Hua picked up the teapot and poured tea for Nangong Ao. Seeing Nangong Ao’s restless look, “Your Majesty, are you worried about the war in the border again?”
Nangong Ao glanced at the Scutellaria flower that had left the palace and buried her father. After returning, he looked like nothing had happened. "Yes!"
"With the Cao family army here, the emperor doesn't need to worry." Qin Hua said.
After hearing Qin Hua's words, Nangong Ao sighed in his heart. It is said that the Cao family army won every battle, and the Cao family army was all passed down into a myth. However, the Cao family army is also a flesh-and-blood person. It is not a god who is invulnerable to swords and guns. It is impossible for them to always win without fear like the legendary one day. One day, the Cao family army will be defeated, especially when the military supply is insufficient, if the supply of food and weapons is not enough, even the god-like Cao family army will be defeated.
"Although the Cao family army is brave, the supply of military needs cannot be as high as they wish. Even the Cao family army cannot defeat the enemy's swords and guns." Nangong Ao said.
"Is there a shortage of food and grass on the front line?" Qin Hua thought that she had sent Dr. Shen to escort food and grass a few days ago.
"There is not only a shortage of food and grass, but also a shortage of weapons, and even less military pay." Nangong Ao said.
"Is there no silver in the treasury?" asked Qin Hua.
Nangong Ao shook his head, "Most of the Northern Tang Dynasty's money is in Ye's Mansion."
When Qin Hua heard Nangong Ao say this, she understood why Ye Wange had to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Has the Empress returned to pay the military salary?" Qin Hua asked.
"Yes." Nangong Ao responded.
Qin Hua frowned slightly, thinking that the Warring States Treasury was empty just now, and how the war could not be delayed for a long time, then the Northern Tang Dynasty would definitely not be able to afford it.
"The national treasury is not full, so this war should not be delayed for a long time." Qin Hua said.
"I hope to fight quickly," said Nangong Ao.
When Nangong Ao and Qinhua were talking about the current situation, Zhang Fugui came in to report, "Emperor, there is a secret letter from General Cao."
When Nangong Ao heard that Cao Tianyue had news, he immediately reached out to let Zhang Fugui come forward.
Nangong Ao opened it and his expression changed drastically. Qin Hua glanced at the contents of the note, saying that Shen Liang had just passed by Liaocheng before he had time to attack the enemy.
Shen Liang was ambushed by the enemy, which made Cao Tianyue and Hu Tong even more unable to deal with Nan Zhao's army.
